The Marshall Attack is one of the oldest
and most important openings in the history of chess. Black sacrifices a
pawn against the Ruy Lopez in exchange for a long-lasting attack.
Generations of the world’s top players have fought on the Marshall
battleground, but the final verdict on its soundness has not yet been
reached. However, of one thing you can be sure: Black certainly has a lot
of fun in trying to checkmate the white king! It is perhaps because of
this reason that as White, many Grandmasters, including the world number
one Gary Kasparov, have decided to avoid the issue altogether, preferring
the more tranquil waters of Anti-Marshall systems. The ideas and
strategies of both approaches are studied in depth here by a renowned
openings theoretician. *An ideal weapon at all levels Euro 2 4,90
